The first images displayed in most movies are the opening credits, which are often an afterthought at the end of a long video project. Keeping them plain is one way to leave no impression, saving the bigger bang for the actual movie footage. Another option is to create something simple that captures the essence of your movie without going over the top. Something unique to the event on video goes a long way toward setting up the movie and leaving a lasting impression about the whole package. When I shot a video of Steven Page performing at a live in store in Seattle's Easy Street Records, I used the store marquee as the backdrop for my title screens. This tutorial shows you how to take any outdoor sign and fit it into the context of your video project."</i><br /><br />A very cool tutorial from Jake Ludington. I'd never have thought of something like this, but the effect is cool.
